2006 YarraLoch Arneis

If you're not sipping a slinky little arneis with your anipasto platter this summer, your tastebuds are missing out.

Arneis (ahr-nace) is an obscure Italian variety grown mostly in Piedmont.  It has spread to Australia with relative alacrity, where it thrives in a cool climate.  This racy Yarra Valley arneis has delicate fruit and bright, lip-smacking acidity.
